CJI Threatens Intervention Over Metro Closures

The Chief Justice of India, Surya Kant, has said he will intervene if the closure of metro stations, including the Supreme Court Metro station, is not resolved by lunchtime.

The Supreme Court Bar Association President, Vikas Singh, proposed allowing restricted access for lawyers, litigants, and court staff with valid Supreme Court entry passes.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation closed 16 metro stations due to ongoing student protests.

The CJI has directed the apex court administration to engage with Delhi Metro authorities to explore the proposal.

If a solution is not found by lunchtime, the CJI will intervene.
